Small and perfectly formed indie gem

Three reporters track down the man behind a classified ad asking for a partner for a time travel adventure. It's a beautifully written story about our overwhelming desire to travel back in time - the compelling fantasy of building a real time machine, but also the time-travel fantasy we build in our heads, of the possibility of changing the past, or of bringing the past into the present, meeting old loves again and finding happiness.
Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass are great leads with a convincing chemistry, but a fantastic supporting cast often outshine them in terms of depth of character and performance. The centre of the movie for me was Jake Johnson, the jaded reporter and likable sleaze who goes back to a small town to try and recapture the passion of a teenage romance he's been fantasizing about ever since.
